If you're that hung up on scion stay out of our forum. Not all other parts are stamped subaru, nor is this a subaru. The genetics belong to both parents from the idea to the chassis to the design and every little bit in between.

If I see a brz driver on the road I'll smile and nod his way knowing he is a fellow car enthusiast who has a preference for feel and "fun".... As well as in their case... mustache rides.

Stay out of 'our' forum? Hold on there, buddy. Maybe you should come off your high horse.

Its just a badge engineered car, dont get it twisted. It happens to be a very good badge engineered car, however, I wont deny that.

They can package the damn car however the marketing department wants to, Id still buy it on performance and feel alone. However it is my car and I will modify it as I wish, cosmetically or otherwise.

Then isn't it better buying BRZ instead of FRS?

How may times are people going to post about this?

Its a badge. If you're that worried about being stereotyped, then I have some news for you. People aren't going to be fooled by taking off the badges. If anything they will probably judge you more for being a moron.

With or without the badges, its still a Toyota/Scion/Subaru.

Well there are a few things particular to my situation, I am a first86er.

However, with all of the subaru dealer horror stories Ive heard and the markups, the dealer antics -- it would seem Scion does bring at least one thing better to the table; the buying experience.

That and the Toyota/Scion front end is better looking in my opinion. And speaking of aesthetics, the Subaru badges are better looking.

Whichever car I'm getting, I'll most likely keep the badges stock.

I considered changing the Scion badges out, but I'd want to do an actual "conversion " with the headlights and steering wheel and even the little embelems on the wheels.

But that'd be too much for, what, just to confuse people? LOL.

So I've come to terms with the far being a scion and think that over time this might be the car that redefines them.

You're first 86er? Wow SCION, you've chosen hellova person, Anti-Toyota/SCION. You don't like Toyota/SCION... but you signed up to be one of the first 86er... wait, am I missing something here or I'm just crazy?

I'm pretty sure someone else here is willing to give you extra cash to be one of the first 86er & you can use that for BRZ & buy youself FRS front bumper. Whatever it's your money, it's your car, paint em pink, swap emblem, put spinners lol

Well congrats & enjoy SCION FR-S

I'm 40 and don't really care what other people think about the car I drive. I drive a tC right now, so it's obviously not a problem for me! I buy what I like, not what other people think I should. If that's the case I'd buy a BMW or Audi.

I'm not interested in Toyota or SCION and I was a First 86 winner. I wanted the BRZ more so I decided to let someone else who would appreciate the experience take my spot.
